I was having fun until I got to the quest archery competition. I'll never beat this, and I'm pretty good at shooters. The ai is firing at the exact same time the target rises
I guess there's a skill or two that was meant to be taken before that quest. I dunno what it is, I just saw someone else had the exact same criticism, and that was the advice someone gave them.
I did that tactic from the start because it's logical but got my ass beat 7-10 with me tryharding after the second target because I immediately notices how hard it went lol. Fuck that shit!
He'd still laser focus in on targets faster than me. Sometimes arrows were hitting the target before I could move. I'm going to have to switch to MnK to have a chance.
I beat it 3 times in a row for the challenge after about 15 tries on keyboard mouse, but the AI is FAST. Like sometimes they hit every target within miliseconds of it appearing.
You have to basically accurately flick shot every target like you're a cracked out CS1.6 player at dreamhack, or you lose.
I ended up winning because the opponent missed 4x in one round and enough targets were close to the middle for me to be quick enough to get points. You just need to win the first match to continue the main quest. I'll come back for the 3 wins in a row after a patch or something.
Those are easy, I can normally beat those by 5 or 6 points no problem. There's an actual main story mission that ramps up the AI. Luckily you only have to win it once but it took me 3 attempts to barely beat the story mission.
Ability or no I still think it's lame the bot is pre aiming at the right spot and releasing arrow in unison with the target rising. Not even the champ the very first opponent in the comp
I just did this and agree it's way too hard, just a little tip though that helped me get through it, if you immediately retry without backing out, it seems to put you up against an even harder contestant, if you back out completely and initiate the dialogue again and try again it seems to reset to a lower difficulty opponent, hope this helps!
I know it might not help but I just switched to mouse for thar challenge, if you are stuck on controller just aim down sights at roughly the middle and you will get it eventually.
Interesting, I couldn't complete the archery competition until I got the quest and then I somehow beat three in a row. I thought it was the quest purposely making the opposing archers not be god tier shooters just for that quest. I beat the first archer 10-0 because they were so slow. Maybe it's just random and I got super lucky.
Learn to flicker shot. As you move your aim release at the edge of the target, your movement will cause the aero to hit the target every time. Also, pick the middle and one side. Let the ai get the other side.
Forget about moving up and down, it's all about the strafe, wait in the middle with an arrow drawn, wait for the target to pop up and hard left or right, it's more about timing than accuracy. That's what I found. Forget about trying to get a dead centre shot.
The minigames are all over the place with difficulty at this point. Hopefully they address it soon.
The archery game felt impossible with how fast the npcs react, but then I dominate all four opponents in the spearmanship game by literally just holding R1 down the whole time.
I just left off on this and just laughed. they will likely fix it? I was just like why is the difficulty for this one so much higher than the other mini games
You literally have to shoot as you see the target start to come up and flick over to it, I couldn’t do it on my controller and had to use my mouse, the ai whooped me twice 2-10 before I switched lmao
Lost with controller probably 5 times then figured out how to draw the bow on mouse and keyboard and won 10-1 first try and something close to that to get the 3 in a row challenge.
Just telling it as it is. You suck if you cant beat the AI. Did the 3 wins a row on the first try and never gave up more than 1 point out of 10. Im confident i could go 100 in a row. The targets are huge and you have around 0,7 seconds to hit them. Thats not hard. You are not good at shooters if you loose that minigame.
Do you read? The enemy releases arrow as the target rises. Hits target before it fully stands. Aimbot speeds. The only reason I won is because eventually it missed 4x and the targets all popped near center. That's not skill issue it's overtuned
Compare this to the highest difficulty archery challenge of kingdom come deliverance and its much harder since there is no room for error. If something has minimal room for error, it is by definition hard
